Legend

About an hour has passed since Ray used his magic.

From the bottom of the hill, there was an occasional tremendous squeal, but Ray had nothing to worry about.

... Most of all, I don't know when the enemy will jump out of the hill, beyond the fact that under the hill the dragonias are being burned by flames.

Beyond that, I needed to be well prepared to handle anything whenever it happened.

When that happens, it's natural to talk about it, but there's no reason why you're taking a slow break... etc.

In that sense, I'm pretty sure this whole hour or so has been a pretty free time.

Even though I had such doubts about when Vihera would run down the hill.

However, he didn't intend to imitate that Vihera would also run from herself into a place where Ray's magic was high fever, and while he put up with wanting to rush out, wait.

On the hill, faces like the Centaurs, Anastasia and Fana also watched the slopes leading to the basement.

... Ningro, it was more likely Anastasia would be closer to the hill leading to the basement than Vihera, and Zai and Asdena wanted to be ready to move according to Fana's instructions at any time.

"So? Ray. Isn't it time we went inside?

Vihera asks Ray, who is gazing over the hill.

That tone contained strong expectations.

That's the kind of expectation Ray could rush out to the basement as soon as he gives permission.

"Right.... Seto, what do you think? I think it's time for me to be okay."

It is significant that Ray asked Seto because Seto has a sharper sense of five than Ray.

Because if it was such a ceto, I wondered if you could tell what the part at the end of the ramp leading down to the basement was like.

And... In fact, Seto sounds okay with Ray's query, he snaps his throat.

If Seto claims to be so, I'm not going to question that sense of Seto even as Ray.

"Okay. Then go.... Vihella, we're going underground, but don't imitate it like a rampage."

To Ray's words like that, Vihera snorted with a grin that she had been waiting.

"No problem. I don't know what's gonna happen over there, but I'm getting ready for it."

"... no, don't you feel like some subtle conversation isn't meshing?

Returns words even as he is slightly stunned by the words of Vihera.

Nevertheless, in the current situation in Vihela, we decide that it makes no sense to say anything, and once again turn our gaze to the ramp that leads to the basement.

"Well, I can't help staying here forever... it's time to go"

Yes, Ray tells me, Vihera smiles happily from the bottom of her heart.

If you try it on Vihera, I guess that means the time I've been waiting for finally arrived.

In fact, it was definitely a very tiring time for those who preferred to fight powerful enemies like Vihella to continue to wait for nearly an hour just outside the place where the enemies they had been waiting for existed.

That's because Ray knew too, and we just have to be convinced of how Vihella is showing tremendous motivation in this situation right now.

(Plus, if you take too long, that could be Anastasia coming)

Just a little bit, Ray looking up the hill.

At the end of that gaze, it was also understood by Ray that Anastasia was riding herself on a deer… specifically, watching the ramp leading to the basement with a caged gaze of heat.

If you try anastasia, the ramp that leads to the basement will be strongly tempted to see it with your own eyes.

But if you try Ray, you can't take Anastasia underground with you here.

Sometimes it drains heavily in one matter of spiritual eggs, and other than that, in the end, Anastasia is an excellent spiritual wizard, but only to that extent.

Now, if Anastasia, like a marina, possesses a skill that cannot be expressed in terms of excellence, I could have taken her underground.

In the end, he decided that Anastasia could not win if he was dominated by a hunger called Dragonias and dealt with a being who had no hesitation in eating and killing his opponents, beyond the fact that he was only skilled to an excellent degree.

... In fact, even when Ray found Anastasia in this world, he was on a deer and fleeing with Fana because he fights from the front and decides he can't win.

I guess there was some point that Fana was in the footsteps, but still, I didn't think Ray could fight Dragonias from the front and Anastasia could win.

If it's the marina that's here, I guess Ray didn't have any anxiety about taking him underground, either, because he doesn't need to worry about it in battle.

(Please, Fana)

When he tells that in his heart to someone who stops Anastasia from rumbling with curiosity, Ray turns his gaze to Vihera again.

"Go?"

"Oh."

Short word exchange.

But that was enough to confirm each other's intentions.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto also rings out to Ray and shows his motivation.

As for Ray, I was a little worried because being underground would prevent him from being able to do things like one of Seto's advantages, flying in the sky... In Seto's case, he has as much power as he can normally ravage Dragonias even if he can't fly in the sky, and in that he can use several skills just like Death Size.

... I guess this is the difference in trust between Anastasia and Seto.

The two of them and one of them go down the ramp, each allowing them to cope whenever and whatever happens.

Naturally, Ray had become the usual style of two-spear flow: Death Size on his right hand and Spear of Dusk on his left, so that he could deal with it whenever Dragonias attacked him.

"Wow... the ground is totally burning."

Down the ramp, Vihera grunts so in a half-hearted manner.

Ray understood the area, naturally, because it was the result of his own use of magic.

But given the current situation, it's also true that it wasn't very interesting to put that in your mouth.

"That being said, you don't know how many Dragonias there are, do you? Then you'd better burn the mutton fish."

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Seto, who was walking next to Ray, to that word. Really? and honking his throat.

If you try Ceto, that's what you think you can defeat no matter how many miscellaneous fish you have.

In fact, given Seto's strength, that's never a mistake.

No, if you just take down the miscellaneous fish, that would be easily possible even if it were Ray or Vihera.

However, this time it was the home of Dragonias, and because I don't know how many of them there are, I used the kind of magic that I could do all over the screen.

... of Ray, who specializes in extensive extermination magic, and so on.

"Nevertheless... I also thought from the outside that this ramp is a long one"

The slope of the ramp itself is not that steep.

This would be due to the idea that Dragonias would not be too inconvenient when going out of his basement base.

Ray understood that well too, and that it wasn't strange that the slopes weren't steep that the length of the slope to the space that would be ahead was quite long... nevertheless, it was natural for Ray to hold the thought that you often created this much underground space that despite walking close enough, you still can't see the end of the slope.

(The fact that we found the eggs of the spirits buried in the ground, after all, Dragonias' best balls might have some connection with the earthly spirits.... Besides, I thought it had properties close to bees and ants, but having its home base in the basement means ants?

That's what I thought, Ray, but some bees are like local bees that nest in the soil, so I reckon they're not necessarily ants because they're in the soil.

"Looks like the underground space is pretty deep."

"I guess. In the first place, if you create an underground space in a shallow position… in some cases, that's the possibility of collapsing. With that in mind, it is convincing to be deep. I can... and I still feel too deep than I expected."

Even as we return our words to Vihela, that's how Ray thinks again, given the situation on the ramp we're currently on.

"Right. … but thanks to this burning ramp, it's definitely easy to walk."

As Vihera put it, the slopes were often turned into charcoal by being burned, which naturally played an anti-slip role.

I also find it a little bit unfortunate that either from the effects of the ground burning, or the feeling of the ground treading is very similar to what it feels like when treading the frost column, and that I enjoyed this feeling enough, if not fighting Dragonias' main balls from now on.

"At this rate, was the majority of Dragonias burned?... Oh? Finally."

In the end, the time I spent going down the ramp was nearly thirty minutes.

Continue walking for quite some time, and that will finally be the end of the ramp…… and arrive in the basement space where Dragonias is based.

"This... again..."

Ray flashes at the sight that spreads in front of him.

Even though the slope was relatively slow, he still walked in for nearly half an hour.

We thought that the place we were currently in was, naturally, a commensurately deep place… Still, the underground space in front of us was surprisingly sufficient, even for Ray, who had seen various sights.

ceiling...... I guess it's the ground to be exact, but I was certain it was over two hundred meters high to that point.

Also, the underground space itself is so vast that we don't know how far it lasts.

Even though it is in the ground, the distance to the ceiling is known or the depth is known, not because of the magical effects of the flames used by Ray...... but because the walls and ceilings of the cave are pale and glowing.

(I've seen these lights in the dungeon before... something similar to that? Either way, can we fly and travel normally even if Seto fights, beyond being quite tall to the ceiling?... you'll need to be careful not to hit the ceiling)

While I thought of it that way, I checked the ground again... there were countless things there that became charcoal.

No, it's not something, it's definitely Dragonias' body.

"As far as this goes, I hear Dragonias and the others were ambushed just down the ramp."

"Right. If you tried Dragonias, you would have planned to exhaust the opponent who came down this far... but on the contrary, you've been exhausted by Ray's magic"

Smudge and Vihera whine, but in those words, Ray looks inside the underground space again.

I thought maybe there were still magic flames left over from Ray's use, but the only light sources present in the underground space are those with glowing walls and ceilings, and no flames exist.

In other words, the magic that Ray used with considerable magic has already erased its effects.

(One more time...... no, it vanished once, and is there any way you could be thinking of any measures over there)

The magical effect Ray used itself is a fairly simple substitute.

Anyway, that's all the magic that a flame that travels to crawl through the ground burns what's in its direction of progress.

"Perhaps there will remain a commanding dragonias, so in that sense it was exactly what Vihella hoped?

"Right."

It was a nodding vi 'hra, but the look doesn't look convincing from the bottom of my heart.

I know you think you should convince yourself, but you still refuse to honestly convince me that something like an instinct that prefers to fight.

Does Ray also understand such Vihera's attitude, say nothing more to Vihera than he is not convinced, and move on.

With ambient light and Ray's vision, we don't know where the enemy is.

As much as that, this underground space is vast.

(This is like saying another earth. I mean, if there was this much underground space, couldn't it have proceeded from underground even under the settlement where the eggs of the Spirit were buried? That way, you wouldn't have had to bother to imitate attacking the settlement, but you would have gotten Spirit eggs from the basement)

With so much underground space to come, it was only natural for Ray to question it.
